COAL XT

High speed backcountry weapon

No board is faster than the Coal XT for charging down the mountain as if on rails or ploughing through waist deep powder! The new VRL Split Base accelerates like no other while the Pro Camber Shape with reinforced inlays guarantees maximum edge hold even at highest speeds. The complete carbon under belt and integrated Anti-Vibration-System ensure a smooth ride, which combined with the new nose rocker make an ideal backcountry stick.

While the Anti-Vibrations-System’s gel dampers under the bindings absorb bumps and roughness from the ground, the Smart Torsion Inlays made from hardwood distribute their force along the length of the board and its edges, enhancing stability at high speeds and offering maximum grip. Last but not least the special POP4.0 carbon under belt reduces the board’s weight and provides the dynamic and responsive riding qualities of the Coal XT.

Back-screened topsheet

Topsheets with silkscreened graphics are printed on the backside of a transparent and impact-resistant topsheet material. This protects extremely well against damage without compromising design or color.

Matte topsheet

This new, matte texture doesn’t only make the topsheet more scratch resistant but also adds anti-slip characteristics which come in handy when pushing or riding one foot. It also prevents snow from sticking to it.

Smart Torsion Inlay

With their special shape and positioning the Smart Torsion Inlays (made of special hardwood) enhance torsional stiffness, since pressure and power are distributed equally along the whole board and transferred to the edges. This results in better control and maximum hold for high-speed runs.

Anti-Vibrations-System (AVS)

The Anti-Vibrations-System is integrated directly into the topsheet underneath the bindings and absorbs all bumps and shocks with its special rubber/gel layers. The AVS unfurls its potential most noticeably when a board is on an edge, providing tremendous dampening and absorbing all vibrations.

Tip-to-Tail Supreme Woodcore with Cellcore Inlays

This unique Cellcore uses a high-tech rigid foam synthetic material adapted from aerospace technology between the bindings. Combined with a higher percentage of solid wood around the insert area this core boasts extremely short response times at a minimal weight, creating an extraordinary riding behavior with maximum stability.

Slim-Tip construction

In contrast to conventional sandwich construction, the Slim-Tip Construction incorporates a solid, shock-absorbent urethane inlay in the nose and tail, which reduces weight and centrifugal mass, making the nose look slimmer and enhancing rotational characteristics of the board.

Directional Freeride Sidecut

Boards with this sidecut have more setback and thus a longer nose which in combination with the asymmetrical sidecut radius provides more edge pressure and control at high speeds. The nose is not only wider and softer, but is also more elevated compared to the tail, resulting in greater floatation in the powder, as well as fast edge-to-edge turns on groomers.

Pro Camber Shape with Nose Rocker

With their strong camber, these shapes are especially suited for advanced riders and everyone who is into high speed. The shorter edge of the concave nose increases turning qualities, while maintaining smoothness and direct response, allowing speed checks in the deepest faces.

6x2 Insert System

There are three common insert systems, in which the distance between the inserts differs. With a 4x4 system, the inserts are 4cm apart. With the 5x2 and 6x2 Insert Systems, the insert rows are only 2cm apart, which means that the stance can be set more precisely, with the 6x2 system offering the most individual placement options. The discs can then be used to adjust the centering of the bindings.

Sandwich construction

Located between the upper and lower layer of fiber on the core of the board is a sidewall made of ABS synthetics that has been integrated to directly transmit pressure from the bindings onto the edge without loss of power. This makes the board even more responsive, providing maximum edge grip and the smoothest ride possible.

Triaxial fiberglass weave in upper and lower beam

This special weave consists of fibers that are positioned at a 45° angle (+45°/-45°) in addition to a longitudinal direction. Depending on the density of the woven fibers, torsion and flex are enhanced without increasing the core’s thickness. This reduces weight and enhances responsiveness as well as edge grip.

Triple aramid weave

Völkl Race Lab Splitbase / P-Tex 4500 World Cup

This exceptional base combination was created using the best-known materials but is the secret to the fastest and best to prepare bases on the market. The materials beside P-Tex 4500 World Cup and extraordinarily scratch-resistant side strips of P-Tex 5000 will remain secret.

Diamond finish

Diamond Finish is standard for all Völkl boards. Edges are ground so that they extend 1° down from the base and 1° out from the sides and heated for maximum durability. This provides easy maneuverability and great edge hold in icy conditions.

Special structural finish

In addition to the Stone Finish our top boards also have a Structural Finish in a flat pound pattern, which maximizes acceleration. To ensure optimal performance, the base should always be brushed after waxing, using strokes of light, constant pressure from nose to tail.

Wax finish

All Völkl boards are equipped with Wax Finish before leaving the factory. This fine layer of wax is fine for the first couple of runs but to ensure the base keeps its gliding characteristics over time, we strongly recommend hot waxing before its first use on snow!
